Oscar Pena speaks with Sandra Siepak about the Ventura Port District.

The Ventura Port District was organized for the purpose of acquiring, constructing and operating a commercial and recreational boat harbor within the City of Ventura.

Ventura’s working harbor includes commercial fishing, featuring California squid, recreational boating and the Ventura Harbor Village with numerous special events.

Pena discusses the new beautifcation project to refresh the shopping experience. He also touches upon infrastructure upgrades, upcoming new hotels and apartments.

The Ventura Port District has a budget of about 8 million dollars per year. 80% of that comes from a percentage of shopping and other business transactions. They also receive about 4 to 6 million dollars per year in Federal Funding to dredge the harbor.

Derek Poultney speaks with Ed Wehan about the Ventura Land Trust (formerly Ventura Hillsides Conservancy).

The mission of the Ventura Land Trust is to permanently protect the land, water, wildlife and scenic beauty of the Ventura region for current and future generations.

The Land Trust builds trails, restores habitat, plants trees, and cleans up our rivers.

As a community based nonprofit organization, the Ventura Land Trust believes that preserving open space and providing public access enhances the economy, quality of life, and public well-being of Ventura and surrounding communities.

With local partners, the Ventura Land Trust works to protect the natural beauty of our area.

Working with willing landowners, land is either protected via acquisition or through a land conservation agreement.

12/5/17: As a result of local fires, tomorrow’s Our Ventura TV recordings will be re-scheduled. For those with questions about the TV station (CAPS Media Center), here is what is known at this moment:

• The phones are still down, which suggests the power is still out
• The station is also inside the evacuation zone and it’s unknown when the evacuation order will be lifted.
• The fire is still not under control, so it’s unknown when we’ll be able to get to the station and/or when it will be operational.

Best,
George Alger

12/6/17 update: The power was back on at CAPS Media Center last night. However, as of this morning, the evacuation order was not lifted for the area around CAPS. Equipment and operations will need to be tested prior to re-opening. Hence, it is closed for at least today and tomorrow. The earliest CAPS may open again will be on Friday, 12/8/17. Whenever it is open, we will start coordinating re-scheduling options with CAPS.

12/8/17 update: CAPS Media is open again and scheduling is being re-coordinated.

Debbie Cregan and Corinne Sullivan speak about the Volunteer Ministers and their motto, “Something can be done about it.”

The Volunteer Ministers program was launched more than 30 years ago, in response to an appeal by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. In addition to traveling to wherever disaster strikes, Volunteer Ministers work with public servants in their own communities, helping to improve conditions right at home, including local Volunteer Ministers helping in Ventura to aid conditions resulting from the Thomas Fire.

Executive Director, Jim Duran, speaks about The City Center with George Alger. The City Center offers transitional living housing to homeless who have children, with a goal of transitioning each client out within 6 to 24 months.

The City Center counseling and support services are critical to create a path towards self sufficiency.

The City Center was opened in 2010, and was originally known as The Kingdom Center. Later, recognizing the history of the location and the importance of community support, the center was renamed The City Center, referring back to the original name of The City Center Motel.

The City Center is a privately funded nonprofit.
